"French" Dressing

Not a lot that's French about this - it's a traditional American recipe. Actually, it does start with a fairly classic vinaigrette, but adds ketchup. Yup, ketchup is where French dressing gets that mysterious glowing orange tint. It's a nice sharp dressing with a touch of richness that goes very well with a salad of mixed greens or cold snap beans; at least when you make it yourself. It's easy, and way better than any of the commercial versions.
